The Bad Wolf
Throughout time and space, there are few constants; the passage of time, inevitable death (for non-Time Lords), and most curiously, Bad Wolf. Wherever and whenever the Doctor travels, these words follow him, disregarding the fact that he travels to parallel universes, different time periods therein, and from individual location to individual location, the words now become more than a coincidence. Interdimensional, cross-generational, the significance of Bad Wolf is about to unfold in spectacular fashion.
Chapter One, The Gathering.
Master Chief was improvising. Being the instrument of the UNSC's plans once again, he had been sent into the field on a newly found planet christened Ylla, upon which a fearsome new race of aliens had been discovered. Called Nooblets, the race had achieved stellar levels of technology unlike anything the human race had faced before.
Now, with his complement of soldiers lying in pieces at the site of the ambush, Master Chief was running for his pelican. His mission had gone awry; intending to sneak behind the enemy lines and plant a bomb, he and his team had been intercepted by Nooblet scouts. The fearsome creatures stood nine feet tall, and in full armor resembled heavily armored grisly bears. Decloaking themselves once they had the unknowing marines surrounded, the beasts had made quick work of all but John. Now, they were pursuing him with the intent to kill. When the humans made first contact with the Nooblets, it had been clear that a relationship was not on their minds. They were barbarians, albeit highly advanced barbarians. Cannibalism was commonly practiced, and they had expected humans to practice it in their presence. Of course, that was before hostility had broken out. Now, the savages used all of their considerable might to try and snag a human snack whenever it was stupid enough to present itself to them.
John could hear the Nooblets pounding after him in his wake, and dared not slow down. Checking his HUD radar, he found that his pelican was barely a mile away. A plan began to formulate inside his brain, and his plans usually lead to the eventual catastrophic destruction of his enemies. John had been sent to eliminate the Nooblets on this part of Ylla. He could still accomplish his goal. Lobbing a fragmentation grenade back over his shoulder and hearing a satisfying BOOM behind him, Master Chief continued winding through the thick forest, drawing ever closer to his destination, the pelican. John prayed for the first time since he could remember that his pilot had remained alive with the ship. Not seeing what harm breaking radio silence could do him now, John radioed his pilot.
"Romo, are you still there?"
"Yeah, but not for much longer if you don't haul your ass back here ASAP!" Came the frantic reply. John cut the comlink and snorted into his helmet. Rookies were always jumpy on their first mission. He remembered his first mission…. His first contact with the Covenant. His best friend Sam had died that day, and he was not going to let his last remaining marine go the same way.
John wound around the last tree, and his pelican came into view. He could see Romo in the cockpit, waving his arms as if trying to alert John to the fact that there were several Nooblets pursuing him. John sprinted up the ramp of the pelican, but left it open. Romo immediately took off, moments before the frenzied Nooblets reached where the two UNSC soldiers had been only seconds ago. They began firing laser weapons at the pelican, but John and Romo were out of range by now. John stood up, and dropped two objects out of the back of the pelican. "Hit those engines, Romo, we don't want to be around when my bomb goes off."
"You got it planted?" Romo replied in a relieved voice.
"In a way. I just dropped it out the back." John knew just by Romo's voice that his face had just drained of all color.
"Punching it, sir."
In theory, the other object that John had dropped should contain the blast. A battleship class shield emitter, the plan was to plant the bomb and then set the shield, so everything inside of the shield was obliterated while the marines outside were safe. John had learned long ago not to trust theories, however, and took no chances, especially because his plan was more makeshift than to-the-letter as it was originally supposed to be executed.
Gripping the pilot's seat as hard as he could, John held on for all he was worth as the pelican accelerated into space at maximum speed. Then, reality seemed to flash. The bomb exploded, and John knew instantly that the shield had failed. He also knew that he was about to make a fast exit from the pelican, as he had left the ramp down. Losing his grip, John saw Romo's head whip around as he flew out of the aircraft. Good luck, kid. He thought.
Turning his thoughts to his own plight, John looked down. The blast had dissipated quite fast, and all that was left below was bombed out ground. He calculated that the fall had an 87% chance of fatality. Bracing himself for an extremely hot landing, John had no choice but to leave his life in the hands of his MJOLNIR armor. He hit the ground with a spectacular thud. He felt many bones break. At least he wasn't dead, was all he could think. Looking skyward and trying to block out the pain, John saw Romo's pelican accelerate into hyperspace. The kid would live to fight another day.
His vision was tunneling, and John knew unconsciousness was near. He must also be hallucinating, because there was a police box, the sort they used in "ancient" times back on earth, materializing in front of him. Emerging from the door was a thin looking but handsome man, and a beautiful blonde female. John knew he was blacking out, and as his vision began to dim, he felt the two dragging him into the police box. He heard the man say, "What the hell is he?"
Master Chief struggled to look at the man and uttered, "What the hell…are you?" And then all was black as John faded into the limbo of blackout.
Preparing for the end, Harry Potter walked knowingly, and willingly, to his doom. Revealing himself to Voldemort, his plan was to let the Dark Lord destroy him, thus destroying his last horcrux, and his ties to immortality. Harry plodded ever deeper into the Forbidden Forest, following two Death Eaters he assumed to be heading back toward their base of operations. He was right; Harry walked up to the Death Eater encampment under cover of his Invisibility Cloak, and there sat Voldemort himself.
Seeing his hated enemy brought out a primal fury deep inside of Harry. He could feel his rage building, but he fought it back down. He would need all of his wits about him to restrain himself from doing anything that might jeopardize the plan. Harry pulled off the cloak, and all eyes were upon him.
Voldemort turned to him, immediately pulled out his wand, and fired a jet of green light at Harry. Before he could move, his world had gone black.
Harry awoke inside a large circular room. There were three people inside of it, as he looked around. A British man, and a British girl, the girl seemed to be around his age. There was also a man inside what looked like dense armor plating lying on the floor in an apparent state of sleep. The room itself was full of computers, Harry being familiar with their workings because he used to sneak onto the computers Dudley owned when he wasn't around. Of course these were much more sophisticated, but the concept remained the same. Push buttons, and the bad guys die. Right?
Harry snapped himself back to reality, and looked at the man standing close to him. The man noticed his movements, and said, "Up already, are you? Well, we're not quite ready for you yet. Sleep a little while." He pulled out an object similar to a pen, and aimed it at Harry. Harry made to move for his wand, but he could not get it fast enough, as a red jet of light hit him, and he entered a deep sleep.
The pieces had been assembled. The stars had aligned. But one piece was missing, unbeknownst to the Doctor. One person remained yet uncollected. He would soon run into this person, however. Fate would just have to take a detour.
Well, that's the first chapter. Basically an intro, the next will be focused on the Doctor and Rose (for of course it is she) bringing Harry and John up to speed. While things may seem hazy at the moment, they are supposed to. It will all be explained..... Review please. :]
